Abstract
By applying the Skorohod martingale embedding method, a strong approximation theorem for partial sums of asymptotically negatively dependent (AND) Gaussian sequences, under polynomial decay rates, is established. As applications, the law of the iterated logarithm, the Chung-type law of the iterated logarithm and the almost sure central limit theorem for AND Gaussian sequences are derived.

Let {X,X
n; n≧0} be a sequence of identically distributed ψ-mixing dependent random variables taking values in a type 2 Banach space B with topological dual B

for 0<β<1, a general law of the iterated logarithm for ξ(β) is obtained without second moment.
Abstract
We study necessary and sufficient conditions for the almost sure convergence of averages of independent random variables with multidimensional indices obtained by certain summability methods.
Considering a simple symmetric random walk in dimension d ≧ 3, we study the almost sure joint asymptotic behavior of two objects: first the local times of a pair of neighboring points, then the local time of a point and the occupation time of the surface of the unit ball around it.
Abstract
Merging asymptotic expansions are established for the distribution functions of suitably centered and normed linear combinations of winnings in a full sequence of generalized St. Petersburg games, where a linear combination is viewed as the share of any one of n cooperative gamblers who play with a pooling strategy. The expansions are given in terms of Fourier-Stieltjes transforms and are constructed from suitably chosen members of the classes of subsequential semistable infinitely divisible asymptotic distributions for the total winnings of the n players and from their pooling strategy, where the classes themselves are determined by the two parameters of the game. For all values of the tail parameter, the expansions yield best possible rates of uniform merge. Surprisingly, it turns out that for a subclass of strategies, not containing the averaging uniform strategy, our merging approximations reduce to asymptotic expansions of the usual type, derived from a proper limiting distribution. The Fourier-Stieltjes transforms are shown to be numerically invertible in general and it is also demonstrated that the merging expansions provide excellent approximations even for very small n.
Abstract
We investigate the repeated and sequential portfolio St. Petersburg games. For the repeated St. Petersburg game, we show an upper bound on the tail distribution, which implies a strong law for a truncation. Moreover, we consider the problem of limit distribution. For the sequential portfolio St. Petersburg game, we obtain tight asymptotic results for the growth rate of the game.
